I understand it’s something to do with the feed setting, but they’re always well sealed in and need a nib block to knock them out (don’t possess one). I’ve found that I need to a) store them nib up to let the air lock out of the barrel and b) always at least half full, or the heat from my hand during long writing sessions brings out the burps.<br />Any eyedropper tips?<br />Jeff<br />Sheffield<br />UKAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14868204341704550296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2428864900980924345.post-26624797888134504252014-03-25T12:33:15.276-07:002014-03-25T12:33:15.276-07:00Got it, Thanks,ShirlGot it, Thanks,ShirlAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10276425014646708141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2428864900980924345.post-4281283869643090352014-03-24T19:57:18.823-07:002014-03-24T19:57:18.823-07:00The nib supplied works...it is just not all that s...The nib supplied works...it is just not all that smooth. I opted to install the Nemosine because it provides a much more enjoyable writing experience...comparable to pens costing much more. And just over $50 for a custom acrylic pen is a pretty amazing price. Many pen makers charge 3-4X or more for a "bespoke" pen.tony10000https://www.blogger.com/profile/05977366058505227985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2428864900980924345.post-33615480933182983822014-03-24T19:41:12.649-07:002014-03-24T19:41:12.649-07:00Thanks for the review, but if I pay $50 for an &qu...Thanks for the review, but if I pay $50 for an "inexpensive" pen, i expect the supplied nib to work. It is an attractive pen but it seemed to require to much "fixin" to make it acceptable.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10276425014646708141noreply@blogger.com
